À propos de l'organisation
Brain Injury NS
Services sociaux et communautaires
Brain Injury NS is the only organized voice for the more than 70,000 brain injury survivors in Nova Scotia. Most of us know someone who has suffered from a concussion, had a stroke, an aneurysm, or been injured due to accident or violence. We work to help these individuals and their families navigate the healthcare system and offer opportunities to participate in our peer support and other programming so they know they aren't alone in their recovery.
We welcome volunteers from any region of the province to join us as peer support program leaders, event helpers, Committee members, or even to sit on our provincial Board of Directors.
